A bit outdated and the wall looked like it hadn't been completely painted on one side of my room. It made me a bit worried that you couldn't lock the window but I am used to a bigger city where thise safety concerns are prevalent. For the price and location It was good

Staff are very friendly! The location is walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores etc. The continental breakfast was fresh and hot. The room was very clean. The only negative was the carpet. I stayed there before and the bottom floor rooms didn’t have carpets so much nicer. The top floor needs some upgrades otherwise it’s a great place to stay.
